Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, two former Democrats, will be joining former President Donald Trump’s transition team to help bolster support in battleground states — with just 70 days to go until the election.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, two former Democrats, will be joining former President Donald Trump’s transition team to help bolster support in battleground states — with just 70 days to go until the election.
The announcement comes after the Democratic defectors enthusiastically endorsed the Republican nominee. Trump, 78, had already chosen his transition team before the two endorsements but decided to add the duo following the significant show of support.
Kennedy, a member of one of the most famous Democratic dynasties in American history, endorsed the former president Friday after dropping his own presidential campaign.
Gabbard, a former Democratic representative in Hawaii who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, endorsed Trump Monday during a surprise appearance at a National Guard conference in Detroit.
